Here's what you need to do to begin the challenge:

1. Start a topic in the group to document your progress. Here's how to create your own topic:

a) In the "discussion board" header, you'll find
some topic options. Click on the "new" link to
create a topic of your own.

b) Give your topic a title. Use your name
somewhere in the title so that it is clear
whose discussion that particular thread
belongs to. No need to select a folder to post
your topic into.

2. Post a comment inside your discussion to document each book you've read. At a minimum, please include a number to indicate what book # of the year it is, the title and author. It is helpful if you post a link to the book and/or author by clicking on the "add book/author" link located at the top of the comment box in which your entering your comments.



3. Repeat Step 2 often. :)

Oh! And be sure to make a post in the "Introduce Yourself!" topic. We'd love to know a bit about you!

Yep--Exactly! Book just needs to be completed in 2014. We're still trying to get those last books in on the 2013 challenge. :)

Kim (secretmagic) | 152 comments I'm so glad you said re-reads count, because I'm not sure I'd make it. I'm only just scraping in the 104 *this* year!

I'd never make it either, Kim. I always re-read favorites in December. :)

Kim (secretmagic) | 152 comments I've spent the last week doing re-reads. I wasn't in the mood for new ones.

Kala Dunn (randomkala93) Can textbooks count? Along with the ones I have to read for college there are some that I like reading for their information.

Marissa | 7 comments I am so glad that we're counting re-reads b/c I REALLY have a bunch of books I'd love to re-experience and refresh my mind about this year.

Kala, you should indeed count textbooks. Even the ones you read for "fun". :D
